Editorial Reviews

The Canadian Field Naturalist - Francis R. Coook

The spectacular feature of this book is its over 160 vivid colour frog portraits and two coloured diagrams of skeletal and internal structures of a typical frog from a variety of sources which effectively depict the range of frog diversity. But it is not just another pretty picture book. The text, though brief, is both instructive and entertaining on a wide range of frog topics. It is a near perfect introduction to a world overview of these lively and attractive animals for anyone young or old.
